The Werderitch family has been friends with the Tony Moratti family over 70 years. Kathy was always a joy to see and we have many fond memories of warm and fun conversations. Her star maybe dim on earth but she will forever shine brightly in heaven and in the hearts of her family.

Jill, your mom was such a wonderful woman. One of our favorite patients. I am so sad for you and your family for the loss.

Jill and Todd,

I am so sorry about your mom. Your mom has always been someone I have looked up to since I was a little girl. She was always smiling and laughing. She was the older sister I always wanted. She meant the world to me for all of my life and I am so blessed to have been able to be part of her world.

I was fortunate to have your entire family in my life. It's impossible to think of all of you as anything but family. Your grandfather was as much of a father to me as my own. Your grandmother was always another mom for me. Your uncles were the big brothers I always wanted. And when both of you were born, it was another opportunity for me to have an extended family.

I will always be here should you ever need anything, even just somewhere to hear about the history our two families have enjoyed for our entire lives.

My heart is breaking and my prayers are with all of you as you go through this experience. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I love you tons.
